The ageing population who have worked all their life are being shunned in order that illegal and the growing flood of "legal" immigrants can have first dibs.Pretty soon female circumcision will take preference over by pass surgery.

we knew 30 years ago about this 'demographic timebomb'. It wasn't going to go away. This is the generation who were there at the birth of the NHS, who worked to develop it and are so often now let down by it.

GPs might stand a chance dealing with increasing demand if they weren't run ragged chasing futile targets set by the likes of Drs Liversedge and Bhatiani who cleverly duck the real work of general practice by making themselves absent from their surgeries. Too many chiefs /box tickers /stuffed shirts taking a nice living from the NHS without adding any value

Facing a crisis - really? Consider this: there are 6 GP's at the surgery I use. Looking at their schedule they all only work 3, yes 3, days a week each. Come half-term and school holidays 3 of them are always on holiday. Nice and cosy.

It's not about how they get rewarded but how little access their patients have, hence my comment.
